Breiton Scott Ackerman, a 4-year-old boy from Alton, Iowa, was last seen on May 22, 2005, during a family fishing trip near Willow Creek. He was with three adults and four other children at the time, standing on a small cement bridge. Breiton disappeared in less than a minute, between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. His family believes he may have fallen into the creek and drowned.
Despite an extensive search of the creek and surrounding areas, including efforts by dive teams, no trace of Breiton or his remains has ever been found. The search spanned the creek and other possible hiding places, but no clues emerged to explain his sudden disappearance. His case is classified as "lost/injured missing," and authorities suspect he was a victim of accidental drowning, although the lack of physical evidence has left his disappearance unresolved.
Breiton's disappearance remains one of the unsolved mysteries in Iowa, with the case still open and active.Last Seen: May 22, 2005
